Star review card

A five-star rating card — the stars, a short quote and an attribution — built to be read at a glance as a trust signal.

When to use it

Retargeting, and any product with strong review volume that is not visible in the ad account. It is the most compressed form of social proof available.

The thing to get right

The rating must be your real rating. Composited numbers are exact, so an inflated star count is a specific, checkable claim rather than a vague impression.

The format at a glance

• Output — a still image ad.
• Structure — a single frame, with the copy composited on top.
• Family — Image ads.
• Recipe id — star_review, which is what you name when you ask for it by hand or from an agent.

Does the rating have to be my real one?

Yes. Composited numbers are exact, which makes an inflated star count a specific checkable claim rather than a vague impression. If the real rating is 4.3, run 4.3; it is more credible than a wall of fives anyway.

Static, direct-response creative for the feed: the headline, the offer, the proof, the comparison. Every word on these is composited by the app after the picture is rendered, so the copy comes out exactly as written.

• Founder / personal note — a personal handwritten-style note from the founder — behind-the-product, trust-building
• Viral comment / reaction — a screenshotted social comment or reaction styled as the ad hero — native, scroll-blending
• Editorial / magazine — an editorial magazine-cover/spread layout — premium, type-led fashion-mag energy
• Benefits / feature grid — a feature/benefit grid ad — the product surrounded by labelled icon callouts
• Bold color-block graphic — a bold geometric color-block design — the product popped on flat brand-colour blocks
• Bold headline statement — a headline-led statement ad — one punchy line is the whole creative (minimal imagery)

Models that render it

This format is rendered by an image model, with the copy composited on top afterwards. Nano Banana Pro is the default pick. The image models page compares the rest, including Qwen-Image, HiDream I1 and GPT Image 2.5.

Hermoso plans and renders a star review card from your brand rather than from a prompt you write, composites every on-screen word after the render so the copy comes out exact, and exposes the same format to an AI agent over MCP. How Hermoso renders a format covers all three.
